Are You looking to purchase a new or another home?
Are You thinking it may be better to Re-finance your present home?
Then You will need a new First Mortgage.
What kind? There are so many of them!
Ok, so let's clear the air on something first.
The first question most people ask is:
" What's your best interest rate".
Here's a fact for you. Almost ANY Broker worth a hill of beans can ALL get you the same rate.
The first question You should be asking is:
"What is the best mortgage You can get me for my needs and situatiion".
Why is this important?
So, let's say you deal with a bank or credit union. Your bank or credit union typically has 3, maybe 4 mortgage products available. That is ONLY 3 or 4 mortgages available to You.
Maybe 1 fits, but is it the best for your needs?
"A mortgage broker, is a mortgage broker, they are all the same"
NO!
All mortgage brokers are NOT the same!
Why?
So what is the difference?
Most mortgage brokers have 10-15 lenders they deal with. As stated before, most lenders have 3-4 different mortgage products. So if a broker has 15 different lenders, with 3-4 products each, that's a potential 15-20 different mortgages available that the broker can choose from, to get for You.

With each lender having 3-4 different products,
that is 180-240 different mortgages available to us, to help
You get
The best mortgage for You !

Why is there a difference in interest rates between buying a home and refinancing a home You presently own?
When You Purchase a home, this type of mortgage is "insurable". What does this mean? It means that the mortgage is "insured" typically by CMHC that if something happens down the road that you can't pay, the lender still gets thier money. (from the insurer, in this case, CMHC.)
A refinance of your present home is "uninsurable" meaning if something happens down the road that you can't pay, the lender is "on the hook" for it. Therefore they have more risk, and charge a slightly higher interest rate.
